What ending to a game gave you the best satisfaction or goosebumps? The type of ending that made all the effort worth it? Some of mine include MGS3 Snake Eater because the revelation about the Boss was so unexpected and sad and a real tearjerker for me. Also Final Fantasy VII because I just thought it was beautifully done. Also Double Dragon 2 for the NES when Marian comes back to life. I'll think of more later.

Wing Commander 4: It ended not with a space fight, but with a very talk heavy court scene where your choices affect the outcome. Not exciting sounding, but it was filmed good and justice was served.

Deus Ex: You became god!!!

Freespace 2: The most intense supernova ever!

Elder Scrolls 4 Oblivion: The dragon fight at the end was hell-ah awsome, and you felt like Bruce Willis from 5th Element. The kinda hero who actually isnt the one to save the day, but you're the one that made it possible sorta thing.

I'll say it time and time again I've NEVER been moved by a video game ending quite like the one in Super Metroid.

Samus Aran battles valiantly to get to Mother Brain and BEST her. After an EPIC fight Samus is ABOUT to fall when the baby Metroid now fully grown SWOOPS in and saves her life. Only to be destroyed by Mother Brain in the process, in return Samus gains an evern GREATER power....but it doesn't even end there.

Like it or hate it, FF8 had my favorite ending and unarguabley one of the most extravagant. Sorry, but it destroys 7s in visuals, length, story, completion, and by FAR music in every way... in my opinion.

Other great endings were FF6, Chrono Trigger, FF4, FF7, FF9, FF10, FF12, all the Suikodens except 4, Vandal Hearts, and Mass Effect. Mass Effects ending wasn't the best on it's own, but just all the build up of the last couple hours made it all a great game experince.
